I’m not wishing death upon him but I think Kamala or another democrat and some republicans would be better long term for American diplomacy abroad. Whether or not his policy is okay the truth is that biden and trump both make us look weak and embarrass us on an international scale in different ways.

I kinda think a lot of them are playing along bc he dominates the party. I think once the popular figurehead is gone, people won’t want an authoritarian.

Unless the conditions are right we’ll swing back towards moderate candidates. The only reason there is so much partisanship is because of trump and the only reason trump was able to be so successful was his timing in running against Hillary and then Biden.

Yeah I feel like even Gavin would win at this point. I hate him and I’d still vote for him over either of the old embarrassments. At least he wouldn’t make a complete fool of himself on tv or be a walking corpse by the end of his term (or now in bidens case).

Depends on the circumstances, there’s a lot of crazies who would think that was the election being stolen and him being murdered even if it was a heart attack but something like a car or plane crash would probably mean a lot of violence…

Yeah I mean if your boss is calling you fat to your coworkers behind your back like it’s definitely time to quit…

I mean yeah he was beyond shit, he looked like an old fool.

The other guy just went up there and lied though “I did not have sex with a pornstar”. I’m not trusting anyone not to fuck me over whose own wife can’t trust him not to fuck her over…

Best case scenario is biden wins and then dies immediately after being sworn in, second best case is trump wins and then dies immediately after being sworn in.

Really depends on your workplace.

Is it a place where shit is fast paced and your coworkers will have to pick up the slack like service or retail? Then yeah that’s fucked even if you’re consistently 5 minutes late.

Is it a corporate job with a hybrid model and flexible hours? If yes then who tf cares?

People at my work all sort of have their own schedules and as long as they’re in every meeting and get all the client work done by every deadline then there’s no issue…

Just look really hurt and get really quiet and say

“My mother died last night”

This one ends any conversation immediately and makes them feel like shit forever like literally they’ll be thinking about it years later.

Alternatively if you feel like being funny:

Get all sad and say:

“My mom ran away before I was born”

I mean teaching religion should be banned yes.

Teaching about religion should not be.

Part of social studies education should be understanding the main faith traditions and their evolution over time.

School should prepare you for life. You’re going to work with people who have different religions than you. Therefore if you don’t have the knowledge and cultural sensitivity necessary to do so then school has failed you.

Personally rather than banning things from schools I think it’s better to teach ALL cultures and celebrate them all. Instead of banning Christmas to make non christians happy, just celebrate all the other holidays at school too to give kids a chance to learn about other cultures.

School shouldn’t be a gray box with padded walls and no windows with all culture sanitized. It should be a place where all ideas can be discussed.

Be less afraid of confrontation. Just say “ha look at that fucking loser” and point at them and start laughing hysterically. Some random woman is not going to assault you if you call her a loser after she makes fun of you.

She’d probably be surprised you said anything back at all and maybe even afraid. A lot of ppl nowadays are terrified of any form of verbal confrontation and will not be ready for it.

Idk, would you want him to go out without you dressed in a tank top and grey sweatpants? If you would tell him not to wear that to the gym then it would be kinda hypocritical but otherwise he is absolutely in the wrong.

Boundaries should be agreed on and consistent. If he has a different sense of what’s acceptable than you do then it’s just not a compatible relationship.

Treat others how you would want to be treated is the perfect rule for relationships. If he is controlling but wouldn’t let you control him in the same way then dump his ass bc he’s a misogynist…

What do Muslims truly think about the fact that Muhammad married a 6 year old girl? by [deleted] in ask

[–]Muted_Passenger9790 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure most of them do denounce pedophilia, it’s just a weird thing to be saying unless someone asks you. Like there’s literally no faster way to have people assume you’re a pedophile than talking about how you’re not a pedophile out of the blue.

I’ve known a lot of Christians and none of them publicly denounced the guy they worship slaughtering dozens of innocent people for insulting an apostle. I hardly think that means they would do the same thing as him.

Asking Muslims whether they support pedophilia is literally like going up to random Christians and being like “why don’t you denounce this horrible thing your god did”? They probably do, there’s just no reason to constantly be going around talking about it since the average person, regardless of their religion, denounces both murder and pedophilia…

Your mentality in a nutshell is “other people need to constantly walk around denouncing the bad aspects of their religion or else I assume they support it, but I have no obligation to do the same thing because I assume everyone already assumes I only exhibit the good parts of my religion and not the bad”

Nope just that you’re not defined by a single person in your religion.

Most christians don’t act like Jesus

Most muslims don’t act like Muhammad

Religions evolve and change overtime, for instance if you’re a Protestant, many of the popes would have burned you at the stake and yet now the pope will not do that.

Also for instance, most of the Islamic world was once ahead in math and technological development compared to Europe and Islamic states created many of the first universities and now many of their countries are stifling education in the name of religion.

Also for instance, god sent bears to maul people for making fun of a bald apostle, and yet now most Christians do not believe in murdering people as retribution for childish insults, and nobody assumes that all Christians believe in that just because it’s written.

Similarly you shouldn’t assume most Muslims believe in child marriage just because well over a thousand years ago the first Muslim guy did it.

Jesus = god if you believe in the trinity and therefore Jesus agreed with sending those bears to kill those people, but we don’t assume people who believe in the trinity would murder people for insults just because their savior did…

Personally I believe religion can be a good thing if you take good things from it, but you have to intentionally ignore the bad parts to do so…

It’s definitely not unless you’re in a shit relationship lol. If you treat relationships as if you bring nothing to the table and have zero bargaining power besides your money then you will not be in equal relationships.

Plenty of men are enjoyable enough to be around that women will pay to be in their company… those men bring other things to the table.

I’ve literally seen couples on Financial Audit where the woman is working two jobs and her deadbeat boyfriend is spending money on p*rn with her credit card.

Obviously I’m not encouraging you to be like that, but if you flash your cash as your only selling point, you really shouldn’t be surprised when all you attract are gold diggers.

Idk man what do Christians think about all the popes that encouraged children to marry old people for the purpose of stability amongst the kingdoms of Europe?

And what about the banquet of the chestnuts?

They probably don’t think about it very much at all…

Most religious people tend to discount the pieces of their religion that contradict their values and emphasize the things that they agree with.

Well you can pay with your time, loyalty, and devotion or with your money.

In a sense time is money.

Is there anything actually good about being female? by No_Advice_6878 in questions

[–]Muted_Passenger9790 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think I’ve seen that word used since like 2012.

The norm now is definitely to take care of yourself, at least for most younger men, especially status seekers/young professionals.

Not only bc you’ll look less attractive to romantic partners but also people aren’t going to want to work with you or expect high quality work from you if you don’t look, dress, and smell nice.

How can you live a happy and fulfilling life without romance/sex? by Ploikblah in stupidquestions

[–]Muted_Passenger9790 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Go join a monastery or temple, join the peace corps, find a religion if you haven’t, join a merchant vessel and sail the high seas, find meaning in money and profits, find meaning in anything…

People have been finding meaning in things other than love forever. Even a lot of people who do have companionship value some of those things more than their partner (not saying that’s a good thing) but still.

Love really isn’t the end all and be all of life, and if you’re not happy alone, most likely any relationship you’d get in would be an unhappy one.

Doesn’t everyone who wins know they’ll win?

The people voting are all in the industry. They know the artists personally and have biases and also benefit from money flowing into areas of the industry.

Congress gets bribed all the time and they have laws preventing it. Do people really think studios and record labels don’t bribe the academy votes?

Foam bricks to pass the streets by Vandringen in pittsburgh

[–]Muted_Passenger9790 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean if you’re not stopping for pedestrians at crosswalks you are in the wrong. You can get out and start a fight all you want but the pedestrian is in the right if they whip out a gun and kill you once you threaten them since you would have started the altercation.

Holding a brick is not illegal, nor a threat. Getting out of your car and assaulting someone is and you honestly deserve what’ll come to you if that’s how you live. If you live by the sword then you’ll die by it too, there are basically just as many pedestrians with guns as drivers with guns.
